Americans are becoming increasingly confused about their president's religion, polls show. Almost a fifth of Americans incorrectly believe that President Obama is a Muslim, according to a Pew Research Center poll released today. Only 34% got it right and said the president is a Christian, while 43% said they weren't sure what religion Obama belongs to, the AP reports.

A poll by Time magazine taken after Obama defended Muslims' right to build a mosque near Ground Zero found that 24% of Americans believe the president is a Muslim. Around a third of Republicans believe Obama prays to Mecca but even among Democrats, the proportion who believe he is a Christian has fallen over the last year. Pew analysts say the confusion likely stems from attacks on Obama by his critics, and from the president's limited attendance at religious services compared to his predecessors.

In the interview with Rick warren befor the Presidential election, mr obama said he is muslim. why else do you think this president is trying to destroy our Christian Heriatge and pushin for the mosque in the same place that muslims have murdered thousands of inocent lives. all for a religion of hate, oops i meant peace.

mr president, you can say that your a Christian all you want, that will not make you a Christian. you can tell a Christian by their fruit, and to openly admit that JESUS CHRIST is LORD!!! in the name of freedom of religion you mr prisident would have allowed our Nation to practice Our anual DAY OF PRAYER... I will continue to pray for your salvation mr president obama IN JESUS NAME GOD BLESS YOU

who cares what religion the president is separation of church and state isn't that what the constitution says? If he wants to worship dead cats over an open flame so be it. There are more important things to worry about such as the economy to worry about who's god is better than who's god, its all a construct of man anyway in an attempt to control the masses get over it and move on!!!!! he talked of ending outsourcing and bringing jobs back to America lets see that it begins soon and get America back on her feet. stop feeding other countries until we have not one starving person here in America, stop sending medical personel and supplies until everyone her in America has health care and is healthy. America carries the wait of the world and yet every country hates America, well pull back our help and let them fight out their little wars and then just sweep up the winner. AS for these stories of what religion is Obama and where was Obama born its the so called christians that are screaming and casting stones last time I checked my bible it says its only Gods place to judge the typical "christian" is nothing than a hypocrite. cast more stone you mindless sheep!!!
